Best book to teach from that I have ever used,
By A Customer
This review is from: Structured Cobol: Fundamentals and Style (Paperback)
I have been using an edition of this book for years; first as a computer science student in 1983 and as an instructor at a community college (Foothill Community College in Los Altos, Ca) for 7 years. This edition is the same fine quality as the first. The examples are easily understood as well as the user-friendly terminology. Students are quick to understand and respond to the techniques and illustrations as they create their own programs. My students have been using hard-to-find, old editions. Having a new, high-quality edition is extremely welcome by students and instructor.

Absolutely the best COBOL book,
This review is from: Structured Cobol: Fundamentals and Style (Paperback)
This is absolutely the best COBOL book out today. It uses the new, modern techniques for program design. There are numerous examples, clearly illustrating the various COBOL instructions. The examples approach real-world standards - more so than other COBOL books I've used. It is a book that explains clearly for beginners, but has so much information that experienced programmers use it also.

The Standard!,

This review is from: Structured Cobol (Paperback)
Not bad lots of code examples. The examples are well written and do a good job of reinforcing what you read in the chapter. You read a little then do an example, then read some more, then add to the example and so on. This book was given to me from an instructor at my college, I don't have any plans on mastering COBOL and I highly recommend that you learn a newer language in high demand if you are new in the IT field ASP.NET 3.5 Unleashed
